Haflinger has been a leader in wool shoes for decades. Ever since I was a little girl (and honestly before I was born), my grandma has wholeheartedly sworn by the cozy, ergonomic clogs. But before you write them off thinking they might be too matronly based on that statement, remember that: 1) Coastal Grandma is very much a thing and grams love clogs, and 2) clogs, in general, are forecasted to be huge this fall. So, when considering the trend for your own wardrobe, be sure to check out Haflinger’s iconic embroidered-edge GZ silhouette. They’re felt-lined, slip-resistant, and sold in 22 colors on Amazon.

Another fan-favorite clog brand with wool options? Birkenstock, of course! The Zermatt Shearling Clogs are the best of both worlds, as they feature a wool felt upper, as well as a shearling lining. They’re only sold in six neutral colors, though, so they’re not the best if you’re hoping for a pop of color. Otherwise, they’re pretty much the perfect neutral shoe you can dress up or down depending on the occasion.
